Is Mel About To Move to Australia?

Mel Gibson in happier times.

The much beleaguered Hollywood star Mel Gibson is set to pack up his belongings in LA and travel to Australia to live.

In a story reported by The Daily Telegraph, disgraced Hollywood star Mel has told friends that he wants to live in Australia to recover from the bad press that has revolved around his alleged violent treatment of ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

Two of his American homes are up for sale and rumours are that Mel’s ex-wife Robyn will accompany the star travelling back to Australia. Mel has dual Irish and American nationality but regards Australia as his home after his family emigrated to Australia when he was 12 years old.

He met his ex-wife Robyn Moore in Australia whilst working as an unknown actor. She is a British actress who emigrated to Australia where she met Mel Gibson when they both shared a house in Adelaide. She reportedly supported him during the allegations of violence towards his partner and their baby daughter, telling the family court that he was never abusive in their marriage.

Allegedly the idea to move to Australia was Robyn’s idea, according to friends. Although their marriage broke down over allegations of infidelity, the two have remained friends.

Mel Gibson’s rep however, has denied that Mel is planning to move to Australia. But if the rumours are true, will he have a better reception in the country he calls home? Perhaps he’s hoping to blend into the background which would be more achievable in the vastness of Australia than it is in celebrity hungry America.
